I need a tool to find and delete double entrances which are build through Informant Sync
-
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out—and I completely understand how frustrating duplicate entries can be, especially when they’re caused by sync issues.
We know how important it is to keep your calendar and task lists clean and reliable. A tool to find and remove duplicate entries is something we’ve been discussing internally, and your request reinforces just how helpful that would be—particularly for long-time Informant Sync users.
We’re adding this to our list of feature considerations, and we’ll be sure to explore options for safely identifying and cleaning up duplicates without risking data loss.
Really appreciate you bringing this up! Here's something you can try:
An issue with duplicate events is most typically due to a circle sync - meaning you have the same data synced to informant from two different sources.
Edit both instances of a duplicate event in informant and go to the 'calendar' option. You'll see the name of the calendar it's assigned to here. Now tap that calendar name and you'll get a list of all calendars under the header of their sync service.
If you see that one events calendar is under the google header and the other events calendar is under the apple header then you have a circle sync to informant from Apple and Google.
To fix this go to your device settings (not informant) and at accounts>gmail>turn off calendar.
